You should assume the code will go into the 2.6.33 (hopefully) or higher kernel trees. It's often possible to patch the drm code onto a slighly older kernel, so far I think 2.6.33-on-2.6.32 is working ok (although no guarantees from the devs). It should be possible to backport the code into older kernels on a distro-by-distro basis since the addition of new HW support usually has a very low risk of breaking existing support.

The docco download information came off the server logs; I figured it was IP address plus a reverse lookup but didn't ask.

Apparently there were ~72,000 doc downloads in the first five hours... maybe 10-20 people used the documentation to work on the driver but I'm not sure what all the rest of the downloads were used for

lol, never underestimate the data packrat mentality, you think 2 TB hard drives that are bought are actually used to store stuff that people will use on a regular basis?

There was a article recently that showed the amount of times people accessed their saved data. IIRC it wound up being that less then 1% of all data on the harddrive was accessed more then once. If I can find the article again I'll post the link.
